From its spicy shades to its gorgeous

shape, we love everything about this

stylish clutch bag. The top band is

worked in linen stitch which creates a

tight-knit woven effect. LK designer

Jo Allport demonstrates this fabulous

technique in her step-by-step photo

tutorial. The zip adds a professional-

looking finish and you could even line

this bag with fabric for extra strength.
